the first reader of the First Church
in Boston:
"On three or four occasions Mrs.
Stetson said that oho wanted mo to
be vary careful to keep true to her,
that she waa looking to me for great
work, that I-wftuM riot regret being
loyal to her, and so on. fiho became
mofe definite, once or twice and said
that she wanted me to write when
ever J heard her voice, but not semi
any such articles to Hostnn; to turn
them over to her.
Hinted at Sck-cssIoii.
"On questioning n Utile, she paid
that some time, not far remote, she
was to be in charge, of the Christian
Scence movement and would need u
supply of articles to fall buck upon.
Dr. Crowell, I Judged from what she
let fall, was doing or wus to do the
same thing. She hinted to me thai
1 was to be one of her chief writers,
hut her statement wart so worded that
J should Imagine as big a position as
cupidity could suggest."
. Mr. Kains said these 'statements
were made to him last summer, aftor
she had been angered by hi writing
an article against "Personal Attach
ment." Virgil O. Strioklcr, the first reader,
who wa.1 rebuked by the local board
of trustees on Thursday, denounced
them in a vigorous statement. It
was sent by him from Huston, whiih
er he had rushed on the midnight
expretw. directly after the stormy
meeting, that hu miht confer with
the Boston board.
"While it Is true that Mrs. Slet
son was exonerated by a. vote of the
local church, this fact, considered
alone, is misleading," declared Mr..
Rtrlekler. "The vote was taken lit a

congregation had gone home. The
meeting had been in session about ix
hours, during tho greater part of
which time It was little less than a
brawl.
"Mis. Stetson's adherents were de
termined that a detailed statement of
what went on in the secret practi
tioners' meeting should not be dis
closed. Their efforts in this bob" If
were disgraceful. A gentleman left
the meeting and stated that a riot
was going on inside. The audience
repeatedly uakeil for th facts, and
especially requested me to read my
diary. Although I was quite willing
to do so, Mrs. Stetson's friends, by
their tactics, succeeded in presenting
it.
Xegativn Vote Not Taken.
"Toward the close of the meeting,
a rising vote was taken, upon the af
firmative, on the motion offered by
one of Mrs. Stetson's adherents. An
actual count showed 439 voting in
her favor. The vote on the other side
of the question was not taken, be
cause it ww discovered that the man
who offered the motion was a mem
ber and an officer of a church of an
other denomination.
"When it Is remembered thai the
church has approximately two thou
sand members and voting attendants,
it will be seen how small a part of
them voted for Mrs. Stetson. 1 firmly
believe that If a fair volo were to be
taken today an overwhelming major
ity would declare their allegiance to
Hi" mother church.
"The votes yesterday will be of no
benefit to Mrs. Sli'lsoii. It doe,) not
n store her license to tench or prac
tise Christian Science. The tirutal
methods employed by her partisans
to suppress the facts will alienate
from lier the better class of I hone
who voted for her yesterday.
